✨ Multiply by a Multiple of Ten ✨

Multiplying by a multiple of ten is like adding groups of tens! It’s like stacking blocks—each block has 10 dots, and you just count how many stacks you have!

Let’s Learn the Steps 🦄:

First, look at the number you’re multiplying by ten.
Then, add a zero to that number—it’s like giving it a magic cape! 🦸‍♂️
Why? Because when you multiply by ten, you’re making the number ten times bigger. Bigger means more zeros!

Here’s an Example 🌈:

Let’s try 3 × 20.
First, break it down: 20 is the same as 2 × 10.
So now, we do 3 × 2 = 6, then give it the magic cape: 6 × 10 = 60.
Voilà! You’ve got your answer: 60.
It’s like saying, “I have three bags, and each bag has 20 candies.” How many candies do I have in total? Yes, 60 candies! 🍬🍬🍬

Tips for Superhero Parents 🦸‍♀️:

- Use real-life examples: Count coins, toys, or snacks in groups of tens.
- Make it fun: Sing songs about numbers or play multiplication games.
- Repeat key ideas: Say things like, “Adding a zero makes it ten times bigger!” over and over. Repetition helps kids remember.
- Celebrate small wins: High-fives and cheers go a long way!

🌟 Wow! You’re a math superstar! Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be multiplying faster than lightning bolts! ⚡
